Quote from XCNuse :nope, thats the best one i've come across too.. but to be honest im not a box modeler lol so i didnt really do all of it, pretty much all of my modeling has been self taught so.. but ya, that nissan lion does is pretty good.. he has an odd style though for some things (ei: the shell modifing of everything practically)

yep, i figured.. some stuff are really bizzare in his modelling techniques..

Quote from tristancliffe : (that is until you done a decent render, then I'll gladly discuss with you how you can make it better).

Quote from gatorman :in addition to that, you can create a model in CAD and render it with 3DS Max

well.. im an architecture student, and i must admit that i make ALL my models in autocad before importing them in 3dsmax for mat/light/render.
autocad is the most precise way to make anything..
and btw, u can render with autocad, u should just get Autodesk Viz Render and link ur autocad model with it
(dont expect 3dsmax results though.. its more about rendering buildings)

Quote from traxxion :Still learning, so I tried to do something with your comments regarding the contrast in the black version... is this one better?

i dunno about Brazil, but if it was VRay, then u should just add more bounces in the global illumination settings.. (primary and secondary).
Also try fixing the images by playing with the Level settings in photoshop (Image>Adjustments>Levels, then slide the 3 controls to the left/right to see how it works)

here's the tip i gave to TraXXion..
if u want coloured rims on ur cars, just go to the materials panel, choose the rims one (usually id4 on the list), click on the little "M" box next to Reflect and edit the 2 colours u see on top..
for black rims i just changed grey to black, and white to grey, depending how dark u want ur reflections..
for gold rims i replaced grey with: R,G,B=172,154,82

brazil problem

hello, i installed brazil, but when i try to run 3dsmax i get "missing mtlgen.dll" and it cant start..
any ideas?

maybe a reason Blender wont load them is cause of the type of materials. for example Ian's models use Brazil materials instead of standard ones, so that might be confusing it.. or even, it might not support the multi-sub-map material..
other reason might be a miss polygon count, or a miss smooth.
dunno man :S

hmm.. i run the server, but it wont stay running, it just kills the pid or something :S
LFS server on linux/unix..?
ramtech
S2 licensed
hello,
i have several questions so i decided to open a new thread:
is it possible to run an lfs server under linux/unix? (using wine or something)
how do i load one?
how much bandwidth does it use?
how much process does it use?
is there anything else to know before running one?

Quote from Tomi :These are not two version of the GT Turbo. The first one is a GT turbo, but the second one is a Renault 5 Turbo, a Maxi 5 Turbo in this case.

its 2 versions of Renault 5..
the one is the 1984 Renault 5 MAXI Turbo Rally,
the other is the 1989 Renault 5 GT Turbo...

Quote from Clownpaint :There's nothing rice about adjusting turbo pressures. However, In reality you have to worry about the effects on the engine when you do such things, which LFS won't simulate, therefore I can't see it happening.

true true true

my R5 GT Turbo came with 0,9bar pressure industry default, i was only able to take it up to 1.5bar, and that was only when i was racing. I would then stop, and drop it to 1.1 or 1.2 for just going around and 0.9 for the highway (cooling & gas problems)

id like to be able to change the pressure of turbo in LFS.. that would be so nice

worst is..
these ppl wanna grow the LFS community, but they keep treating newbies as s**t.
